Starting next summer, workers at large retail and grocery stores in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County will gain greater control over their schedules, thanks to a new ordinance passed by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. This new law, which takes effect on July 2025, requires employers to provide workers with their schedules two weeks in advance, compensate them for last-minute changes, and space out shifts by at least 10 hours. The ordinance applies to retailers and grocers with 300 or more employees nationwide and is expected to impact approximately 200 businesses and 6,000 workers in unincorporated L.A. County. Supporters of the ordinance believe it will improve the lives of low-income workers, many of whom are people of color, by providing them with more stability and predictability in their schedules. Similar laws have been passed in major cities and states across the U.S., including Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, New York City, and Oregon, and research has shown positive impacts on workers’ well-being and ability to plan their lives.
